Dave Brandel

Dave Brandel joined Belcan in May 2017 to enhance and further develop strategy around systems & software, define plans to develop service product offerings to enable execution of the strategy, identify opportunities to grow key accounts, and work with the teams to drive operational efficiencies. In that role, Dave drove organic growth by applying existing capabilities to other market segments and inorganic growth through two acquisitions that expanded both capability and service offerings. Prior to Belcan, Dave spent over 34 years at GE Aviation in engineering and executive leadership across many disciplines, including systems engineering, controls, software, analytics, diagnostics, engines, composites, structures, and quality. He led the nacelles, aerostructures, and propeller product line engineering teams, managed the GP7000 engine systems engineering team, started the remote diagnostics program while in services, and introduced the first electronic engine control to GE Aviation engines. Dave holds a BS in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University and an MS in Computer & Electrical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati.
